Before & After Photos

Homeowners in Limestone, ME were having issues in their home resulting from the high humidity in their crawl space. We installed our two-step encapsulation system to address the failing crawl space. First we put down drainage matting to control the groundwater, and then we install CleanSpace vapor barrier to seal out moisture. A SmartSump pump was installed to remove groundwater. We also added a SaniDry Sedona high efficiency air system to filter the air and control the humidity level in the crawl space, which will help the home above. 

Homeowners from Orient, Maine contacted TC Hafford Basement Systems for help with their damp and humid crawl space. They had an old plastic liner sitting on top of the dirt floor, but wanted to update the crawl space to a full encapsulation with a vapor barrier, and they were also interested in a dehumidifier. We installed our two-step encapsulation system, which includes drainage matting and a CleanSpace liner. Drainage matting helps control the groundwater, and the CleanSpace vapor barrier is installed on top to encapsulate the space, sealing out moisture. CleanSpace is an inorganic material so it has the added benefit of preventing mold growth. To address the humidity, we installed a SaniDry Sedona high efficiency air system. The SaniDry Sedona can remove 100 pints of water per day and keeps the crawl space at a healthy humidity level to avoid moisture problems. 

Beals, ME homeowners contacted TC Hafford Basement Systems for help with their wet and leaking basement. We poured a new slab along with slab WaterGuard around the perimeter of the basement. WaterGuard helps channel any water to the brand new TripleSafe Sump Pump. The TripleSafe features two Zoeller sumps and a battery-powered backup for protection if they lose power. The TripleSafe drains water out of the basement and through an Exterior Buried Discharge line that is protected against ice buildup with IceGuard. CleanSpace Wall System was installed to act as a vapor barrier where needed and channel any additional moisture from the walls to the WaterGuard. SprayFoam insulation was installed on the rim joists keeping cold air out during the winter, making the space more comfortable, and saving the homeowner money on their energy bill.

System Design Specialist Craig Z. met with a Vanceboro, ME homeowner to give a free estimate on repairing their leaky basement issues. We installed the BrightWall system which acts as a moisture and vapor barrier, and is easy to clean and never discolors. The BrightWall channels any moisture to WaterGuard which is installed around the perimeter of the basement, funneling water to a new TripleSafe sump pump. The TripleSafe features two Zoeller sumps and a battery-powered backup. It drains water out of the basement and through an Exterior Buried Discharge line. Lastly we added a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier which drains into the TripleSafe for easy water removal. Our homeowner has a new bright and dry basement!

Every time heavy rain comes through, this Machiasport, ME basement fills with a couple of inches of water, causing severe moisture issues for the homeowner. It’s important to take care of issues like this quickly to prevent damage that can ruin the health of the home and create an unsafe space to live in. The homeowner scheduled a free estimate with TC Hafford Basement Systems and worked with System Design Specialist Craig Ziegenbein to design an encapsulation system that would help the homeowner protect their home's health.

CleanSpace with Drainage Matting is laid on the ground to create a channel for water and an inorganic barrier between the CleanSpace and the outside elements. The CleanSpace Wall System was installed to create a full encapsulation system to keep moisture out of the space. The water has to go somewhere, so a SmartSump Sump Pump was installed to pump water through the new Exterior Buried Discharge Line. To keep the system running all year, even during the winter, IceGuard was installed on the Discharge Line to prevent ice from building up. Finally, a SaniDry Sedona was installed and connected to a condensate pump that drains to the SmartSump. Now, humidity will stay at a safe level, and the homeowner will never have to worry about emptying a bucket of water. The space is fully encapsulated, and the home’s health is protected.
